Let’s dig in with what I have found out about this bag.

Where Is The Cheapest Place To Buy?

If you wish for an affordable and stylish diaper bag with more storage capacity but don’t want a large backpack, look no further. This diaper bag from Hip Cub has just granted your wish.

From providing you with ample space to carry your toddler plus baby’s essentials to including your personal needs, you’ll be able to take them with you for a day without having to carry an extra bag.

Storage

This diaper bag from Hip Cub has one huge main compartment with a total of seven pockets. The main compartment is secured with a zipper, has one zippered pocket inside as well as two interior slip pockets.

If you are packing for only one child, you can carry extras such as baby books or toys as space is not a problem. However, don’t forget to pack smartly if you have two kids, and if you are cloth diapering.

Just with any other huge storage diaper bag, randomly throwing in things you don’t need will make this bag look inadequate.

Having two slip pockets inside, you can organize your stack of diapers on one of the inside pockets. The other pocket can carry the baby wipes.

If you are cloth diapering your child, you might need to move the baby wipes to one of the outside pockets (there’s two) so as to give space for more cloth diapers on the inside pocket. Also, there is another zippered pocket on the inside compartment (a total of 3 inside pockets).

Since the main compartment has already a zipper closure, I am not sure why they designed it in a way that another zippered pocket on the inside is needed. It is a zippered pocket within a zippered compartment which I think is unnecessary.

The two front pockets are usually for things you need immediate access to, such as your wallet and phone. However, they are not secured and doesn’t have an enclosure of any type.

The two side pockets for bottles, however, surprisingly have zippers on them. I think that they want to keep the “stylish” feel of the bag, so they put zippers on them so as to hide the baby bottles.

If you are more concerned about the security of your personal stuff, move your wallet, keys, and phone onto one of the side pockets with a zipper to keep them hidden and secure. In exchange, transfer one bottle or sippy cup to one of the front pockets if you don’t mind people seeing a bit of a baby bottle cap. Anyway, you are a parent. It’s better to be seen on a bag with a baby bottle than to lose your valuable belongings accidentally.

The other side pocket can still carry another bottle or a sippy cup, and the other front pocket can carry wet, dirty and used baby stuff.

By the way, the side pockets for bottles are not insulated. If you are carrying an expressed breast milk that needs thermal storage, be prepared to get an extra bag for that insulation function alone.

P.S. If you are not using this bag anymore, you can convert it to a laptop bag. 🙂

Easy of Use

The interior lining of the bag is dark and, therefore, doesn’t provide a good contrast. A large storage like this should have an interior with a lighter shade so that you will quickly find stuff inside.

If you want to multitask (i.e. walking while accessing stuff you need), think again. Having limited pockets on the outside and having the majority of the stuff you need on the inside compartment, you will find it very hard to multi-task as you want. You have to stop, put your baby down (if you are using your hands to carry them) and open the bag and get the things you need. It’s not a big deal for parents who would usually do it that way.

The grab-handle is small, so you cannot hang this over your shoulder using the faux leather grab handle. However, there is an adjustable strap that will let you put this cross over your body, or over your shoulder, whichever you prefer. It is thick enough to provide the carrying comfort you need. It is not padded, though, so if you are heavily-packed, you might feel a bit of a discomfort. BOTTOM LINE: Plan what you need to pack.

If you want to hang this over your stroller, they provide straps to make hanging this bag to your stroller a breeze. Make sure that the outside pockets are facing you to avoid struggles in accessing stuff. You will hear me say this over and over again: NEVER hang overly-packed diaper bags especially to lightweight strollers as they can cause accidental tripping of the stroller.

Comfort

Weighing 1.6 pounds, it is lighter by 0.2 lbs compared to Skip Hop Special Edition Bag, which looks very similar. An extra padding on the adjustable strap will provide more carrying comfort if it is made available.

Quality/Cost

A mid-price range diaper bag like this that carries a 100{0b94e73e5e915ecbcf303cb4742b71cc2938bb096419f627339ee9d65669f423} lifetime satisfaction is a sure winner.

If you are having a problem with the zipper for instance, just contact the customer service, and they will replace it with a new bag or send you a full refund 100{0b94e73e5e915ecbcf303cb4742b71cc2938bb096419f627339ee9d65669f423} guaranteed.

Material

The outside material is made of canvas, and the inside is made of polyester. While the inside can be quickly cleaned by wiping it, the outside part of the bag will need spot cleaning with a damp cloth. There is an instruction inside the bag for those who opt to wash it by machine.

Return Policy

Hip Cub offers a 100{0b94e73e5e915ecbcf303cb4742b71cc2938bb096419f627339ee9d65669f423} lifetime satisfaction so you can ask for a replacement or a 100{0b94e73e5e915ecbcf303cb4742b71cc2938bb096419f627339ee9d65669f423} money back guarantee if you are having any form of dissatisfaction with this bag.

Is This Product For You?

If you are looking for a huge stylish diaper bag but do not want a large backpack, this bag will let you carry stuff for two kids. If you are cloth diapering, it will not be a problem since the primary storage boasts an adequate space.

Conclusion

It doesn’t matter if you are out of the house for one day with a baby and a toddler, you can carry stuff you need without needing an extra bag. It is designed to take stuff without looking too bulky.

If for any reason you are not happy with your purchase or you are having problems with zippers (past problems with zippers have already been resolved by replacing the new ones with a sturdier zipper), you are ensured to receive a replacement bag or your money back – GUARANTEED. For a mid-priced diaper bag, this is a hard to pass deal.

I Checked Ebay and there are a few sellers that actually sell them. I am not very sure about the lifetime satisfaction guarantee if you buy from any of them. Please do check with the specific seller on how you can avail of the warranty in this case.

My goodness! I never knew diaper bags could be so stylish and cute! In fact, when I first saw the bag with black stripes, I thought it was an actual designer bag! I love how you have very helpful information and details about the bag, it makes it much easier to make a decision!

You are such a heavy-packer. :-p I would usually bring 3 disposable diapers and 1 set of changing clothes for the whole day outside the house, hehe. We also have a gender neutral backpack, The Graco Gotham Diaper Bag. It’s for my husband to use but I don’t mind carrying it as well. That backpack can bring more than this bag. A normal backpack is fine, but I like the organisational pockets of diaper bags especially that we bring milk bottles which can sometimes spill if they are not kept upright in a normal backpack.

Thanks for dropping by my site. 🙂 There is no space for the changing mat. If you like the stylish feel of this bag but also wants a pocket for the diaper changing pad, you can consider the Skip Hop Limited Edition bag which is almost same size and design. That bag has an outside pocket for the changing pad. 🙂 You can read my review HERE.

I think that this diaper bag is really awesome, especially with the guaranteed refund as sometimes I end up buying poor quality stuff that I cannot return and have to make use. 🙁

Regarding the zippered pocket within a zippered compartment, I think that is to put something that is less commonly used but important nevertheless, for example my sling bag. I have the same design too, and that is for me to put either my poncho or my menstrual pads, lol.

The design looks okay (at least it isn’t those that I hate to the core) but it doesn’t match with a lot of the outfits that I have currently. I guess I’ll have to wait for another one of your reviews to find one matching for me.

Hi,
This diaper bag looks very chic. It will be nice if it came in other designs. I love the black and white stripes and the fact that it can hold a lot in all those compartments. It looks very comfortable to carry when not over packed. The 100{0b94e73e5e915ecbcf303cb4742b71cc2938bb096419f627339ee9d65669f423} lifetime satisfaction offer is also very nice to have.

This is an attractive diaper bag. I’m always drawn to these bags that don’t look “cutesy.” Having a zipper closure to the main compartment is really important to avoid losing items when getting in and out of the car with the baby. These bags always get jostled around, so keeping things secure is paramount. This is obviously a very durable bag, so you won’t have to replace it after 6 months of use – a good thing. Personally, I would prefer a less loud pattern which wouldn’t clash so easily with clothing, but otherwise, it looks like a super bag.

I really like the design of this bag. It actually reminds me of a beach bag with the stripy fabric. For me the beauty of it is that it has a multifunctional purpose and can be used for a wide range of things once the children have grown out of nappies.
An in depth and informative review, thank you.

Oh ….. I love the design of this diaper bag. I don’t have any children, but my niece is expecting any day now. In fact, it could be happening today! This would make an awesome gift for her. Thanks for providing this informative review. Is the $49.49 sale price at Amazon just a temporary markdown?

Hmmmmm… That’s kinda weird, pockets that’s meant for much valuable items such as phones and wallets have no zipper then the pocket that’s only meant for baby bottles has. Good thing that the pocket for wipes has no zipper. LOL!

And the zippered compartment with a zippered pocket inside. Why didn’t they put it outside instead? Anyway even though it have an illogical design it’s pretty good enough to be able to pack it for 2 kids.

I think the zippered pockets inside are meant for your valuables. But most of the time, you need immediate access to them. You better put them somewhere easily found, like outside pockets. In my opinion, if you put them inside, yes, they will be safe there. But it would require you to keep on opening and closing the main compartment zipper which can be tiring (and irritating according to my husband), haha.
